Keeping up with the Kardashians is a full-time job for their "momager" Kris Jenner. Jenner was on 'Good Morning America' (Weekdays, 7AM on ABC) Tuesday discussing her role as part mom, part manager, to the Kardashian girls. She not only has to mediate infighting between her daughters, but also has to deal with gripes directed her way if one or more of the kids thinks she's being treated unfairly.

One of the clips from the segment showed Kris announcing she had secured a perfume deal for Kim. That miffed Khloe. "You get Kim her own deal first, and then it's the three of us?" she said. "I will sue the [poop] out of you." Kris asked her, "Are you insane?"

Kim Kardashian had a temper tantrum that a teenager would be proud of on 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' (Sun., 10PM ET on E!). We can understand being concerned about a bout of psoriasis on the eve of a video shoot, but this is the modern era.

"It's not like a photo shoot where it can just be Photoshopped," Kim lamented to her mother. "This is video. You cannot fix it."

First of all, does she really not know how easy it is to manipulate video? Second of all, does she not know how powerful lighting and makeup are?

No, she needed to have her fit, and nothing Kris could say would soothe her. Not even Kris saying that she knew exactly what Kim was going through because she herself has had it. Nope, nobody knows what Kim is going through.

Bruce and Kris Jenner have been married for 20 years, in which time they've raised the family at the center of 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians.' While a lot of what happens on the show isn't terribly family-friendly, Bruce Jenner said Thursday on 'The Talk' (weekdays, syndicated on CBS) that there is a silver lining: Now people can see what his life is really like.

"You know what the good thing about the show is, Kris and I got married 20 years ago," he said. "I've been dealing with this for 20 years, but the show's only been on for the last couple of years, and everybody can see my pain, what I've been dealing with, where before, nobody knew I was going through all of this. Now they know."

Kris Jenner had marriage on the brain this week, since she'll be officiating one soon, and even managed to trick Kourtney and Scott into posing as the bride and groom for a practice run on 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' (Sun. 10PM ET on E!).

What a great opportunity to continue badgering the couple to get married. Especially as they're contemplating having a second child.

"You're going against every single thing that I believe in. You grow up and you get married and you have babies," Kris said. "A tradition."

I've never really followed an entire season of reality dating show, except for Meredith's turn on 'The Bachelorette', mainly because I was pretty sure she was doing it as a joke.

So color me surprised to find I actually enjoyed the debut of 'Love in the Wild' last week and have mentally penciled episode two into my calendar this Wednesday (9PM ET/PT, CTV/NBC). The show definitely hearkens back to the era of 'Paradise Hotel' or 'Temptation Island' but manages to feel like a fresher take on the pretty-people-in-a-hot-tub genre. Basically, it's a blatant attempt to mix 'Survivor' with 'The Bachelor'. The result includes some of the best and worst elements of both of those shows.

There was a dual struggle this week on 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' (Sun., 10PM ET on E!). Plagued by another round of rumors that her famous butt is the result of implants, Kim Kardashian decides to put the rumors to rest forever by getting her rear x-rayed.

On the other side of the spectrum, after Kris Jenner is mistakenly called Kris Kardashian, she wonders if she should change her name back to her late husband's name "for the brand." Remember when the name Bruce Jenner meant something? He's got medals and Wheaties boxes to prove it.

So, Kim got her x-ray and proved definitively that the asset that made her famous is all natural, and after a stern lecture from Khloe that brought her to tears, Kris followed immediately with the non-announcement that she's not going to change her name.

Think about reality TV, and what usually springs to mind is a bunch of youngsters living in homes together, performing on talent shows, or trying to get their careers rolling -- sometimes all at the same time.

But let's not forget the elder statespeople who already had a stunning career behind them, only to come back into the public eye by participating in a reality show. Perhaps these celebrity veterans helped to pave the way for 'Sunset Daze,' a new show premiering April 28 at 10PM ET on WE tv that follows a group of people at a retirement community in Arizona's Sun City.

Lest you think it's all pudding and painkillers, rest assured there will be sex! Guns! Skydiving! And motorcycles!

"I play football and most football players, you know, we're kind of camera shy, and ... outside of football, we just kind of want to be left alone," Bush said. "For me, I've got enough cameras on me on the football field."

As the Kardashian's popularity increases, stepfather Bruce Jenner does what he can to keep them level-headed and grounded. However, Jenner worries that their increasing fame may have negative consequences, he said on 'Today' (weekdays, 7AM ET on NBC).

"I've noticed the kids have gotten more recognizable ... I've tried to do my best to try to keep them very grounded in all of this, and how blessed they are because of the situation they're in," Jenner said. "But with that comes a lot of pitfalls. There's a lot of bumps in the road ... It's a different world today. And, [with] the Internet today, things don't go away. It's tough."

After a weekend fraught with particularly frightening news -- massive earthquake, tsunami warnings, snowicane (!) -- the E! Network Monday helped to assure us that all is right with the world with news thatKourtney and Khloe Kardashain will, in fact, take Miami for a second season, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Yes folks, lest you were losing any sleep over the thought that -- gasp -- those wacky Kardashians might slip into anonymity after last week's season finale of 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' attracted a record number of viewers to E! (4.8 million, in fact), you can breathe easy.

According to Lisa Berger, Executive Vice President of Original Programming at E!, "This time it's a whole different world as the pair must embrace their new life roles and juggle their hectic careers as they head back to South Beach where fun always follows." Oh, yeah, and sister Kim is slated to appear.

Given the reports that NBC is on the verge of admitting that five nights a week of 'The Jay Leno Show' was a mistake and moving the former 'Tonight Show' host back to late night, how will the network fill five nights of suddenly vacant 10PM programming?

It's been rumored that this move has been in the works for a while, and that it's why NBC has purchased so many series pilots (about 18 of them) in recent weeks. But those shows are meant for the fall season and probably wouldn't be ready to go into full production in time for the March departure of the Leno show. So NBC will have to scramble to fill five hours of primetime programming.
